Google Moon

Por si fuera poco estar viendo milimetricos puntos de cualquier parte de la Tierra, ahora google aborda el espacio... ya vamos por la luna!!

Google: First the earth, now the moon

Google Moon ( http://moon.google.com/ ). Yes, our favorite doer-of-no-evil has broadened its horizons and headed out into the solar system. Well, the moon at least. An adaptation of Google's Earth Web-based mapping system ( http://earth.google.com/ ), Google Moon applies the same nifty technologies to "their queen, fair regent of the night" (Erasmus Darwin, "The Botanic Garden: A Poem in Two Parts", pt. I, canto II, l. 90;

Google Moon defaults to showing a photographic view that encompasses the landing sites of all of the manned expeditions. You can zoom in but eventually the resolution limit is exceeded and you get to look at ... well, go find out.
